Description

Leverburgh 2.8 miles. A traditional croft house turned holiday cottage; St Clements View can be found nestled into the countryside of the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides. With wildlife and beaches nearby, this four-bed pet-friendly cottage is perfect for families looking for a taste of the more rugged islands of Scotland.

Upon parking outside of the property, you are met with a quirky cottage where contemporary design and traditional architecture melt together seamlessly, where a large extension with huge full-length windows has been added to the cottage without being intrusive, with beautiful brown wooden windows and skylights.

Once you have marvelled at the house’s exterior, you will be welcomed into an airy sitting room that could possibly be the property's grandest feature, with huge windows opening onto the stunning wild bay just beyond the garden, stylish sofas, and furniture all in keeping with the cottage feel, so why not take a moment to relax and enjoy this space before embarking on your adventures?

Exiting the sitting room, you will find the dining room, continuing the theme of wooden floors, furniture, and contemporary cottage décor, making the perfect space for you to indulge in a wonderful family breakfast.

The designated chef will be enticed into the amply equipped kitchen, first noting the white tiled floor contrasting perfectly with the black furniture, hard wood work-surface and an abundance of amenities allowing you to rustle up the perfect family meal, providing two bar stools to recline and have a coffee whilst breakfast is underway, as well as French windows with access to the decking area outside.

Also on the ground-floor, a spacious tiled bathroom awaits, with a large jacuzzi bath to recline and relax in after a long day exploring the beach, or for a quicker freshen up, a large shower cubicle with rainforest shower head.

Climb the stairs to find the perfect places to snuggle down for the night; a master bedroom with a double bed, delicate décor in keeping with the cottage theme and a view to the outside, along with a twin room also presenting fresh styling, with artwork of the local scenery.

If you wish to enjoy a meal outside, then there is a wonderful decking area accessible through both the kitchen and the French windows in the sitting room, why not grab a book and enjoy a peaceful moment amongst the Hebridean air? Visible from the house is the historic St Clement’s church, a popular spot for weddings, and there is a beach within walking distance of the house that can only be reached on foot. If you need a hot meal, but you don’t wish to cook, then within a short drive are a few local restaurants, or stock up on essentials before heading out on a hike at the Harris community shop, and you will have the opportunity to explore local craft and artwork at Grannie Annie's local craft shop, Borrisdale Tweed, and Finsbay gallery. There are many beaches to visit, where you can walk, wild-swim and partake in your favourite watersports, as well as hikes and walks around archaeological sites, including MacLeod´s Stone and the beautiful surrounding walk. Remote, beautiful, and teeming with adventures, a stay at St Clement’s view is bound to be a family holiday you will remember. The islands can be reached by flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness; or by ferry from Uig on Skye to Tarbert, or Ullapool to Stornoway.

we had a lovely week at St Clements View.

The views are outstanding and the lounge area of the cottage was an absolute highlight. Amazing views across The Minch and to St Clements Church, which was well worth the afternoon walk across to visit on the footpath from beside the cottage. We did love the little nods to the church around the cottage too. our only issue with the cottage were the bedrooms which for a tall person were a particular problem because of the eves. that said the downstairs areas were spacious and well laid out. The large bathroom has a fantastic shower. The kitchen is very nice and affords great views too. The garden is fully enclosed so great for dogs. We were visited daily by numerous sheep and a sea eagle !!! The cottage is situated at the end of the coastal road from Leverburgh and is very quiet and is perfect for visiting the many spectacular beaches on south & west Harris.

Our second stay at St Clements View and another wonderful week.

Location is perfect, so private and we were treated to daily sightings of both Sea Eagles and Golden Eagles in the hills around the back of the house. The views were beautiful and really helped us to relax and switch off from the daily grind. House was very well equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would highly recommend St Clements View for those wishing to explore beautiful Harris and appreciate the fantastic wildlife right on your doorstep.

Lovely week spent at St Clement’s View.

This was our third visit, and we’ve already booked again for next year, that says it all! The views from the cottage are stunning, and the cottage is warm, cosy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
